H-Bot to play air field hockey

A group of students has successfully constructed an air field hockey robot that represents an innovative application of automation technology. The robot uses igus profile guides, which are known for their precision and durability. These guides are driven by an H-belt assembly that allows the robot to move quickly and accurately across the air field hockey table. The motors and controllers are supplied by Beckhoff, a leading supplier in the automation industry, known for its high-quality and reliable components. This project demonstrates the potential of combining precise mechanics and advanced control technology to develop dynamic and responsive robots.
